Gagné Both Gillette Banne and Jacques Bertault were sentenced to death by the criminal court of Québec City for the murder of their son-in-law. They appealed to the Conseil Souverain. Élisabeth was also found guilty of the crime, but did not appeal to the Conseil Souverain. The Council rejected the appeal and sentenced Gillette and Jacques to be hanged. Before the hanging, they were to have a rope attached to their necks and be lead "nu en chemise", with a torch in their hands to the doors of the church, where they were to kneel and beg forgiveness for their crimes to God and the King. They were then to be hanged upon scaffolds set up in the Grande Place in the haute ville. In addition, Jacques was to have his arms and legs broken with a rod, which Gillette and Élisabeth were forced to witness before Gillette's execution. After his execution, Jacques' body was to be displayed on a wheel at the Cap-aux-Diamants to serve as an example. All three were collectively sentenced to a fine of 60 livres, half to be paid to the Récollets to pray for the repose of the victim's soul and half to the King, with the remainder of their property to be confiscated by the State. And so Gillette Banne and Jacques Bertault were executed in Québec City at four o'clock in the afternoon on 09 June 1672. Given her age, the Conseil Souverain took pity on Élisabeth and only sentenced her to make a public apology and to be a witness to the execution of her parents. The Council also decreed that the surplus of the confiscated property (after court costs) would be given to Nicolas and Jacques Bertault, minor children of Gillette and Jacques. The PRDH listings concerning Jacques Bertault and Gillette Banne include their date of death, June 9, 1672, but their burial is not included in the Vital Records repertory. They were not accorded christian burial. Most likely their remains were carried off in a tumbrel to the town refuse dump and left there. Fr.
